IT Service Management Best Practices -

Wim Hoving

This book describes a revolutionary approach on how to successfully implement IT service management (ITSM) in an easier, faster, cheaper, and especially more effective way.In the book, the lessons of 30 years are used to put an end to the chaos and complexity of ineffective ITSM projects. Based on simple paradigms, a single and compact solution is described for the integrated service management with People, Process and Product. This is not achieved by setting ITIL or ASL aside, but by rearranging the many valuable elements of these frameworks into a simple logical structure, and filling the gaps. Although the paradigms are explained extensively in the book, the solution is very practical and has been proven in recent years in dozens of projects with small and large organizations.This publication describes the implementation method, with a strong focus on quality assurance and cultural change, a comprehensive definition list, and an example of a compact process model.

David Clifford

ISO/IEC 20000 is the corporate standard for achieving quality within IT Service Management. As individuals achieve success in Service Management frameworks such as ITIL®, many organizations have identified the benefits of making the jump to full corporate accreditation. But, having made the decision to invest in this standard, what is the best way to implement adoption in an efficient and successful way? This thorough, practical guide has been put together by real experts with real experience of how ISO/IEC 20000 works in the workplace and in the real world. Part A of this title covers the step by step description of the ISO 20000 implementation process. Part B contains real case studies from organizations who have successfully achieved ISO/IEC accreditation. This Official itSMF guide is unique in that it not only describes the implementation process. It also suggests solutions to common problems and set-backs. An understanding of the many business pressures means that practical guidance on the business case, measuring success (or not), or the need for quick wins are all included in this book, making it an invaluable companion for all those working on an implementation project. A sister guide to the hugely successful Official itSMF ‘Introduction to ISO/IEC 20000’ book, readers will find that this book becomes a key asset in delivering a practical, down to earth implementation program.
